Changing the world can happen through big protests and long-term efforts, or through small, everyday actions inspired by individuals wanting to make a difference for their neighbors. Whatever your vision, share it with our community— we're here to support you every step of the way.

Here are some projects other members of our congregation have brought to life over the years.

  • The Little Free Pantry

    The Little Free Pantry in the front of our church was started to address food insecurity in a very local way.

  • Tree of Hope

    Winters are cold in southern Maine! We try to make it a little easier by collecting and sharing winter wear. Like our Little Free Pantry, this project encourages folks to “Take what you need, share what you can.”

  • Prayer Shawls

    Paula H. from the Caring Committee is a fabulous fiber artist and knits prayer shawls as a part of our caring outreach.  The community then lay hands on the them and blesses them for the specific recipient.

  • Clarissa Frost Memorial Window

    Clarissa Frost was a longtime member of UUCSB who passed away in 2023. Her brother and sister-in-law, who own a stained glass studio, designed this window as a memorial and created the center panel with the blue borders. Guided by Clarissa’s brother and sister-in-law who supplied the glass, our team handled the cutting, grinding, foiling, soldering, grouting, cleaning, and polishing of the rainbow mosaic surrounding the central panel.
